Product Features	Descriptions	Advantages
EOS Component Run-Time Environment (EOS Server)
Clearly layered MVC (Model-View-Control) system architecture	The user interface, display layer, business model and data access of the application software are separated into different layers, which are loosely coupled.	Highly extensible. The changes in one layer would not cause changes in other layers. Fast response to changes. Supports cross-platform operations and distributed deployment. Also, it saves the trouble of designing software architecture for application software, which improves the efficiency in application development.
XML Databus technology	Components are connected via XML Databus. They obtain their input data from the databus, and put their output back into the databus. The component interfaces are not directly related to each other, but instead they communicate through the XML Databus.	The system can be integrated by nature. Every application module is loosely coupled with others, which makes it very flexible to deploy. It is much easier and costs little when Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is needed.
Basic application framework	All necessary applications for enterprise level network are built-in in the framework, including role-based access rights and menu management, page style control, system log and abnormality mechanism, etc., and different applications can be used directly after simple configuration.	Raise the 'start point’ of application development, shorten the development cycle, and improve the reusability of software.
Distributed deployment	Able to realize the modular configuration of the application system. Support distributed deployment of business processes. Support distributed processing of data services. Able to deploy different functions in the run-time according to the performance and functionality requirements of the system.	Possible to neglect the run-time during development. Largely relax the requirements on the system design and that on the developers during early development. The performance of the system can be tuned through distributed deployment, which eliminates the needs for second development.
Platform independence of bottom layer technology	Support most leading commercial and open-source products in the market, including different operating systems, J2EE application servers, and database products.	Can be conveniently applied to different J2EE application servers and migrated among databases. Reduce the dependency of the application system on the original software and hardware of the users. Protect the IT investment of the enterprise, and at the same time reduce the technical difficulties.
Powerful data integration function	Using the data dictionary technology, the mapping from databases to business objects can be easily established, which allows effective integration of different application modules and system data resources.	Completely hide the differences among bottom layer database servers provided by different venders, adapt to the changes of business data flexibly, and realize complete migration of applications.
EOS Integrated Development Environment (EOS Studio)
Component-level application assembly	Users can use existing components as building blocks and re-assemble them to meet the needs of new business. EOS Studio provides a visual design and development environment, including the display logic, business logic, data design and page design of components in different layers.	Simplified Development: Based on the idea of components, the development process with EOS is different from traditional programming. The developers only need to drag-and-drop on a graphical interface to complete most of the development tasks. Quick Thinking: Borrowing from the graphical expression methods of UML allows natural integration between the design process and the development process. At the same time, using code format based on XML makes it convenient to develop documents, which largely simplifies the development process. Software Knowledge Accumulation: The enterprise can effectively accumulate software knowledge through the development and accumulation of components, which at the same time greatly reduces the cost and investment in building systems in the future. Software Quality Assurance: Components are themselves modules that have been put to many tests in practice. Systems that are built by assembling components will have much smaller number of problem points in the system, which improves the stability and usability of the system.
Graphical testing	When developers are editing a component (except for data components and business processes), they can perform graphical testing directly on the component logic. Also, since hot-deployment capability is supported during testing, the effect of program modification can be seen immediately.	The display of graphical process flow and the convenient view of XML databus make it faster to locate and diagnose problems in programs during testing.
Graphical business process logic expression	Besides descriptions using text and forms as in traditional requirement analysis, there are also graphical descriptions of the business and processes, which can be even realized quickly through the original model.	This to a large extent avoids the problem of communication between technical personnel and business personnel, and avoids the need of major modification or even re-development due to unclear requirements or wrong settings.
Parallel distributed team development	Integrated CVS function; at the same time provide functions such as data design, business design, display logic, interface design, deployment, and management monitoring. This provides tools for data designers, interface engineers, and system administrators.	Parallel distributed team development greatly lowers the complexity resulted from dividing and re-synchronize the results, allows more flexible and more effective use of the enterprise development resources, reduces the cost of communication among teams, and improves the efficiency of application development and the quality of the developed software.
EOS Management Control Panel (EOS Manager)
Online management monitoring	Provide dynamic deployment, configuration, running control, and upgrading of application software. Provide real-time monitoring and statistics of user identifiers, times of log in, remote IP addresses, and data.	Lower risk of system environment changes: Deployment and development tasks can be separated, which to some extent lowers the risk that some software component structures are fixed during early development and cannot be used in the later changed system environment. Flexible responses: Another advantage of deploying dynamically with components is that after the software is in operation, we still can perform flexible system upgrades and maintenance, which meets the need of timely response. System optimization: Monitoring the run-time statistics of the system allows effective recording and adjusting of system structures and function parameters, which in turn allows optimization of the performance of the software.
EOS Foundation Component Library
Rich foundation components	Provide almost-complete atomic component library. Through the combination of finite number of atomic components, we can build any complex business logic.	Improve development efficiency, lower technical difficulty, and shorten implementation cycle.
